Quote of the Week

To say that atheism requires faith is as dim-witted as saying that disbelief in pixies or leprechauns takes faith. Even if Einstein himself told me there was an elf on my shoulder, I would still ask for proof and I wouldn't be wrong to ask.Geoff Mather

If Wendy Pini however told ME I had an elf on my shoulder, I would not ask for proof because in her head i just might and besides I woldn't mind all that much to have an elf on my shoulder as long as it was one of hers...a bit off subject maybe... :-)

Great QuoteThis reminded me a conversation I had with my late Father, there is a 'Faerie' tree opposite my home, I asked my father if he believed in faeires(leprechauns to USA readers) and the myth that if you cut the tree you'll never sleep again, he said no, I asked why he didn't bulldoze the tree in the middle of the field, he said "I'm not taking that chance". :)

my littlest critter

Sometimes things are so crazy, out there and/or annoying that I just have to share it with someone somehow. Or I feel like I simply must record my thoughts on it for posterity. This is a good place to do that.

A note on language

I write mostly in English on this blog. Whatever is written in Norwegian is something that either deals with situations, persons & phenomena specific to Norway, or is contigent on the reader understanding the Norwegian language in order to get the point.
